When I joined the Club we did a lot at Combe because Geoff Gale (one time chairman) was local to it. I have so many happy memories and videos of 'Action Days' at Combe.
It's quite local to us in Bristol, I missed it this year because I had not long lost faith driving my car and it was threatening weather. Turned out a great day had by all. I stayed home 🥲

Booked. £4 booking fee - that really p***es me off that they charge that!!:mad:

It didn't threaten, it did! It turned very wet!🌨️💦☔ Good day though and I will be happy to arrange it again for next year.

I've just gone to book but it looks like they no longer have the space to display a vehicle on the club stand:

When i go to the next page it appears you can just get a club passenger ticket, but then says you must be travelling to the show in a vehicle with a club pass.... which i guess have sold out judging by the previous message...

I guess that means I've left it too late to book? Unless I've not read this correctly?

It could well be that they’ve closed club bookings early across the board due to heavy early bird booking. You could try raising a help ticket to confirm if this is the case - especially as the original deadlines were Dec 31st for the early bird discounts and 11th March for the club bookings.

Thank you Richie, I'll give that a go.

Same here, or I'd have booked earlier. I couldn't find a contact to raise an issue, could you let me know if you find one.

I had planned to book for 2 , my 240Z and my brothers Z32. Cheers.

Website says they're full of participants now. Only thing I can think of is to ask for reserved spots for drop outs?

Edit: Christ what a terrible website to navigate, best I've got is a telephone number, which goes to voicemail asking to leave a name and number to get back to you with 🙄

My guess is they've closed for the holidays and put limits to how many can book via the website so they don't lose control of the booking system (to not oversell tickets)

Bummer. This is the thing about Japfest these days- once the tickets/passes go on sale, you really need to be off the mark quickly with the early bird passes. It finished early last year too, due to sheer demand at the overall level.

I would recommend anyone who wants to go to Japfest Classic to crack on and place their orders before the same happens to that event.
